Chapter 260 Closed Door Meeting
"I won't save you?" Yuan Jue was so angry that he wanted to clench his fist, but when he tried hard, he missed! His right hand was gone.
He tried hard to recall what happened half a century ago, turned around to find Chris in the crowd, and stared at him with suspicion.
Chris's face turned pale and he kept glancing at the door behind him.
What is happening now? Is this the legendary intelligence reconciliation?
What happened 60 years ago, we have to face it head on and make it clear who did the wrong thing.
Well! Lock all the doors, don't let anyone escape. Let's see who's causing all this trouble.
These events occurred before the Marshal was born, so he did not experience them. The Imperial Annals are vague about them.
Moreover, the parties involved are still alive, so this period of imperial history cannot be written.
Yuan Xu became a spectator like Tianjiu. He secretly took out an orange from his pocket and peeled it slowly.
Amidst the tense atmosphere, a burst of citrus fragrance suddenly wafted through the air...
A bunch of people are going to die today, and there are still people eating oranges here!
"Chris, what did you say back then?"
Yuan Jue's tone was very light, and it was obvious that he didn't forget, but wanted to bring up the past.
Chris is old, but that history cannot be forgotten.
"The Fourth Prince is leading two million men to join the Fourth Defense Zone. They are waiting for you in the Saprophytic Insect Territory."
Chris recalled the military newspaper from that year word for word.
"Waiting for you? I'm waiting for you? Why am I waiting for you? Who the hell wrote this military newspaper? It's clearly about waiting for rescue!"
The old emperor slammed the table.
Yuan Jue: "You hinted to me at that time that Fourth Brother had prepared thousands of Whale-class warships and hundreds of Excellence warships, and they were on standby."
Chris's forehead was covered with sweat. But no matter how he looked at it, he hadn't tampered with it. This was the military report he had received.
Standby? Bullshit! He was nearly depleted of energy and supplies, so he could only reduce his combat intensity to conserve his strength.
To put it bluntly, the car ran out of gas and was parked there!
There are a lot of them, but none of them are usable.
The old emperor: "So, you think the request for help I gave you was a trap?"
Yuan Jue scoffed, "I didn't think it was a trap, I just thought it was suspicious. 'We need to observe further.' Chris, that was the advice you gave me back then."
Chris pondered for a moment and replied, "I don't think my judgment back then was wrong. Reading it today, I still make the same judgment."
Yuan Jue couldn't help but look up at the sky and shook his head angrily and helplessly.
This is Chris, moving around, getting along with everyone, but without any loopholes.
Chris: "Third Prince, you were the one who was attacked from all sides and needed rescue.
Such a large-scale insect swarm would only appear once every few hundred years in history, yet you have encountered it. How could it be such a coincidence that it appeared in the Fourth Prince's defense zone!
Two super insect swarms, who would believe it!
Communication is intermittent, and unless you go there in person, you have no way of judging whether what the other party says is true or false.
Third Prince, I am responsible for you."
Interstellar warfare is a volatile world, where a planet can be destroyed in minutes, and a fleet might not last more than a few hours. If rescue doesn't arrive, it's like abandoning the enemy.
But the old emperor never thought that his third brother would not save him, and he managed to hold out for three days with his remaining troops.
He sent batches of ultralight fleets to the three nearby energy towers to seek supplies, but the round trips were time-consuming and costly, resulting in heavy losses.
He was almost always on the verge of breaking free.
Well, if the third brother was misled by someone and the intelligence was misjudged, and it was not intentionally targeting him, he would accept it for now.
But there is something else!
"Back then, the old man of the Mu family negotiated with me on the battlefield and insisted that I marry the queen who was originally going to marry my eldest brother before he would send troops to rescue us. I was eventually forced to agree under pressure.
But at this moment, all the energy towers near my defense zone were destroyed by the insect tide, and many energy stars in the Mu family territory were bombed, and the energy was instantly exhausted.
Don't say that I insisted on fighting on my own. Even the Mu family would find it difficult to send out a fleet. You can't say that you don't know about this or that it has nothing to do with you! "
At that time, everyone around him made the judgment that this could not have been done by someone from the Mu family themselves, and it could only be the work of the Third Prince.
After all, they have real evidence that the Third Prince's guards were active on the Mu family's territory.
He died in battle, and the only one who benefited was Yuan Jue.
Yuan Jue suddenly came to his senses, walked down from the stage, and walked to the center of the entire circular venue, like the only gladiator in the ancient Colosseum.
He looked towards Chen Jiaji, who was being held captive in the southwest corner. "Xiao Chen, where is your father?"
Everyone was stunned. What does this have to do with Patriarch Chen?
"Third brother, Old Chen has been gone for many years. You are not going to put the blame on a dead person and make him unable to testify!"
"Fourth brother, if I say that my mental strength collapsed and I was completely unconscious one day, would you believe me?"
The insect swarm was so fierce that he led his troops to fight for more than fifty hours.
He had never been an outstanding prince. Compared to his S+-level elder and second brothers, he was truly ordinary. If it weren't for the Royal Purifier accompanying him, he wouldn't have been able to hold on.
After all, it was the insect swarm that killed the eldest and second brothers.
"Old Chen gave me the latest mental placebo, and I slept for nearly 24 hours."
What! A commander-in-chief on the battlefield would actually use drugs to lose consciousness for such a long time! Doesn't that mean he has lost his military power?
All the noble families and military leaders who had lived through this period of history were dumbfounded.
People couldn't help but search for the Marshal's figure.
In order to stay absolutely alert on the battlefield, the marshal would even prolong his mental state. Even if he went crazy, he could not close his eyes, and his military power fell into the hands of others.
Now it seems that this is not a so-called coma at all, but a disguised imprisonment that prevents him from receiving any information!
"Chris? Are you aware of this?"
Given Yuan Jue's understanding of Chris, it was impossible for him not to know.
"Given your support for my enthronement, even if you didn't do anything, you were still a confidant. You were happy to see it happen, and even fanned the flames!"
Chris hung his head and said nothing at this moment.
His seat was in the middle of the long side of the oval-shaped venue. After walking down the stage and turning right, he saw the exit door.
But he didn't know if he could get out today.
"Fourth brother, when I woke up, I received the news that the Mu family had sent troops to rescue you and repel the insect swarm."
So he didn't know or feel how serious the impact of those 24 hours was.
He even felt a little disappointed that his fourth brother had received support from the Mu family, which had once been the most supportive of his eldest brother. He was indeed not good enough.
"The Mu family's energy star exploded, and I risked my entire army to save you. I also gave you my eldest brother's fiancée. Why are you still dissatisfied with the Mu family?"
Yuan Jue's doubts echoed in everyone's minds. Chris had supported the Third Prince, but the Fourth Prince disliked him after ascending the throne. It made sense that the two of them were on edge.
But the Mu family, who have worked hard for so many years, have not been able to win the favor of the old emperor. Even Queen Mu has no children in her life. Why?
